"You use half a million dollars, and you want to save 80 million dollars?" Chekov did not directly refuse, but looked at Xie Kai with a sneer, "Play four or two thousand pounds?"

Obviously, for half a million dollars, the other side is not satisfied.

Xie Kai secretly scolded in his heart, this grandson is not afraid of having too much appetite and too small a belly to support himself.

"Uncle Chekov, the money for the engines, all from the Soviet state. Even if an agreement is reached, will there be any material reward for you besides the praise from above?

In the end, looking for Chekov, Xie Kai naturally inquired a lot of news.

"The whole team, you've looked for it?" Chekov asked.

"How is that possible!" Xie Kai directly denied.

Chekov looked at Xie Kai and did not expose his lies, and now the entire negotiation team is saying that it is necessary to reduce the price and complete the negotiations with the Chinese side as soon as possible and return home.

The price given in the Soviet Union was $1.2 million per engine.

Karletovsky has known Xie Jianguo for a long time, and he has never expressed his position or spoke, and even he is insisting on the price of $1.5 million each.

"Comrade Chekov, you should know very well the situation in the Soviet Union that a lot of cooperation with the international community has a lot of tricks. You can rest assured that this money does not come from our domestic ......" The other party does not object, and Xie Kai does not beat around the bush.

"A million dollars, if you convince Karletovsky, you can sell it for $1.2 million each. Chekov said bluntly. "I'm sure it'll be very easy for you to get him. ”

"$1.15 million. "Xie Kai has stepped up.

It can save the base 50,000 US dollars, 200 units, and 10 million US dollars.

That's the profit of 404.

What can $10 million do?

At least we can do a few small projects.

"This price is too low, the reserve price given in China is 1.2 million US dollars, I think you should be clear. ”

"When it's done, give another million dollars. "Since you are greedy, then simply give a little more.

Chekov did not expect the other party to be so generous at all.

After hesitating for a few minutes, he nodded and took a promissory note of half a million dollars from Xie Kai's hand.

Xie Kai didn't stay, said goodbye and left.

Chekov looked at the back of Xie Kai leaving, and was weighing in his heart whether it was the other party's trap and calculating himself with Karletovsky.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Xie Kai coming back, Xie Jianguo asked a little anxiously.

"Except for a big appetite, nothing else is a problem. ”

"How much?"

"Dad, don't worry about it, it's only Kaletovsky now. When you negotiate again tomorrow, you increase the price by another $20,000 and see how they react. Xie Kai knew that if you want to be satisfied with the price, you can't be too eager.

There was a lot of corruption within the Soviet Union, and that was the root cause of the collapse of the entire Soviet Union.

The economy of the Soviet Union was much stronger than that of China, and the science and technology were even more powerful, but except for high-ranking officials, ordinary people did not even have the most basic living material security.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Xie Kai to send money.

Xie Kai did not participate in the negotiations the next day, and Xie Kai did not participate in the negotiations again after sending the money, so as not to make people embarrassed.

"We have been in such a stalemate that we can't reach an agreement at all, so after consulting the country, we will increase the price of each engine by 10,000 US dollars. Xie Jianguo took the initiative to increase the price at the beginning of the negotiations.

Except for Chekov, no one else expected.

It's been a long time since they took the money.

Half a month has passed since the initial negotiations.

It's February, and there are not a few days left before the Chinese New Year.

"We can reduce the price to $1.4 million. After Dimikov and the others made eye signals, they got the signals from Karletovsky and Chekov and lowered the price by $100,000 again.

Even if Xie Jianguo increased the price by another $10,000, the other party would only reduce it to $1.35 million.

As a result, the negotiations were once again deadlocked.

Chekov was not as opposed as before, but he did not help to speak.

"What do you mean by that?" Karletovsky asked with a frown when he saw Xie Kai give out a million-dollar promissory note again.

"Engines! This is just the first money. So far, the price difference between us is only $200,000. Xie Kai no longer said that it was a matter of Catherine, who he had never met.

It's straightforward.

"I can't do this. Chekov was my opponent. ”

"As long as you agree, he will not object. Xie Kai said, "After the matter is over, there will be another million." The money, all very clean. ”

"The price you're giving at the moment isn't good. ”

"$1.15 million apiece. No more. Xie Kai looked at Kaletovsky and said, "The savings are from our country, but the money given to you is my own." ”

The price of $1.15 million is a little cheaper than Xie Kai's original budget.

Of course, after he goes back, he will find Zheng Yucheng and make up for his part. So far, the reserve price of the deal with the Iraqis has exceeded the expectations of the base.

"You take this first, I'll think about it. Kaletovsky did not directly answer Shekai's words.

Two million is a lot of money for him.

The domestic economy of the USSR was depressed, everything was tilted towards heavy industry, but the high-ranking officials lived in luxury, and many things were imported from the world.

The price of the dollar for the ruble on the black market is very high.

It's not that Kaletovsky doesn't want to take these two million, but he needs to think clearly about what serious consequences he will have if he takes these two million.

The price of 1.15 million US dollars per engine is not small compared with the price given in China.

"By the way, do you really like Catherine?" asked Kaletovsky as Shekai walked to the door.

Xie Kai turned his head and smiled, "Of course! I like pretty girls......"

"The Chinese side will increase the price by 10,000 US dollars at a time, which has reached their limit. Whether it is necessary to lower the price again and reach an agreement sooner, everyone will share their opinions. Sitting together again, Chekov took the lead in speaking. "China's foreign exchange is tight, and there are too many equipment and technologies that need to be imported, and we have to consider what impact this will have on the entire cooperation, especially when we ask them to pay half of the advance ......payment first."

"Chekov, you've always been against price reductions!" Kalletovsky listened to Chekov's words and knew that the other party had received Xie Kai's money.

Originally, it was Chekov who opposed it the most.

Chekov nodded, "That's true, but now, the negotiations can't be reached, and China hopes to take this as an opportunity to strengthen cooperation with China at the unofficial level and improve relations between the two countries...... And hundreds of millions of dollars, for our domestic engine manufacturing units is also a very large amount of money. A stalemate will have a great impact on the entire cooperation. ”

That's just the way it is.

In any case, the Chinese side is not willing to raise the price again, and the price increase will not be too much.

According to their situation, the maximum estimate is $1.15 million, and the lowest price given in China is $1.2 million. Dimikov said.

They took Xie Kai's money, plus Chekov, who had the most opposition, relented, why not sell a favor to the Chinese?

After going back, everyone went back to their posts.

"Let's talk about it first. Chekov looked at Karletovsky and proposed.

Karletovsky did not refute anything, and when he saw that the entire delegation was helping the Chinese side to speak, it became clear that the final price was like that.

Once again, negotiations were entered and concessions were made on both sides.

The Chinese raised the price to $1.15 million, and the Soviets lowered it to a reserve price of $1.2 million.

"Chekov supports your price. Seeing Shekai again, Kaletovsky was speculating in his heart how this kid bought Chekov.

"The contract is signed, and hundreds of millions of dollars of advance payment are directly given, and for each batch of engines that are delivered, the remaining funds will be settled, which is a very generous condition for any unit. Xie Kai also said calmly, "Hundreds of millions of dollars, used for investment, even put in the bank, the interest on deposits is also very high." ”

"This needs to be reported to the country and approved before it can be done. Kaletovsky looked at Xie Kai, "You really want to study in the Soviet Union?"

"I'm going to college this year. In recent years, there have been a large number of public study abroad students in China every year. If Sino-Soviet relations improve, I think I will go. "Xie Kai, this is not a joke.

I entered college in '86 and graduated from college in '90.

As long as history is not a joke, Xie Kai will go to the Soviet Union to study for that plan.

Two years, plus a few years of operation, should be very easy to operate.

"If you go to study in the USSR, you can come to me. "Perhaps, we will have more cooperation in the future." ”

If Xie Kai still doesn't understand, he will be in vain.

He immediately handed the remaining two million-dollar promissory notes to Karletovsky.

"You're not afraid that I'll take the money and not do anything?" Kaletovsky looked at the two promissory notes, a little shocked.

Not because of the amount, but because of Xie Kai's style.

"Uncle Driver, even if you can't reach a cooperation, just let me honor you, if Catherine can take a fancy to me, it will be my son-in-law to honor you in advance. Xie Kai said with a smile.

But he secretly said in his heart, "If it weren't for the convenience of the future, who would be willing to give you money for nothing!"

Ekaterina is indeed beautiful, but it is not enough to make Xie Kai tempted, isn't it?

There are so many beautiful women in the world, you can't look beautiful, you have to get it, right?

At least, that's what Xie Kai thinks.

He had to find excuses and reasons to send money.

"They finally agreed, and the price of each engine was $1.15 million!"

"Dad, shouldn't you be happy that the negotiation has been reached?"

"Within three months of signing the contract, you have to make an advance payment. When will the advance payment be in place, and when will they arrange production......" Xie Jianguo was obviously worried about the problem of funds.
